Only after enough users is involved in freedom seeking, it can be possible to demand large companies to provide something we need. In my opinion, Purism do a lot in this direction.

- madez 11y agoWhat things did they do beside marketing? What was achieved?
- dandelion_lover 11y agoI am not sure whether you consider this marketing, but for me important things are (0) demonstrating the interest of customers in freedom, (1) explaining what's wrong with "ordinary" laptops to the public; increasing awareness in the media [0], and (2) working closely with QubesOS to make this system work on their laptops. Hardware switches are also very good. And yes, it might be a scam. But might be not. [0] (1) is being already done by FSF, but to me it looks like it's not enough.
